How the 5.3 was reached

  1. Quality of output5/10

    Large archive (8,893 talks, 235 chapters) per the vendor's own site; no independent validation, and the site's two figures disagree. Source: allbsides.com

  2. Ease of use9/10

    Public website with searchable events showing dates, locations and links; no signup needed. Source: allbsides.com

  3. Pricing valuen/a

    No evidence found, so this criterion is left out of the score rather than counted as zero.

  4. API and integration quality2/10

    No API or integrations found on the pages checked or by search. Source: allbsides.com

  5. Solves the problem it claims to solve5/10

    Event tracking, talk archive and CFP tracking match the claim, but the only evidence is the vendor's own site. Source: allbsides.com

5.3/10 is the average of the 4 criterion scores above. One criterion had no evidence and is left out, so this score rests on 4 of the five. A tool needs at least three to get a score. The evidence comes from 2 different sources.Scores come from public evidence (the tool's own pages and documentation, and independent reviews); we do not test every tool hands-on.
